Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of horizontal well drilling and fracturing, and is a volume fracturing three-dimensional development method suitable for horizontal wells of unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] In the same block, tight oil and gas fields and coal-bed methane have multiple reservoirs vertically developed. The use of horizontal well volume fracturing can greatly increase production and recovery. However, horizontal wells can generally only develop a single reservoir. If multiple reservoirs are developed vertically, a new horizontal well can only be drilled (such as Figure 1 , 1 is drilling rig 1, 2 is horizontal well bore 2, 3 is drilling rig 3, 4 is horizontal well bore 4, 5 is non-gas reservoir formation 5, 6 is unconventional gas reservoir 6, 7 is non-gas reservoir formation 7, 8 is unconventional gas reservoir 8, 9 is non-gas reservoir formation 9), the surface casing and technical casing of the first horizontal well cannot be reused, which will greatly increase the investment; it is necessary to innovate a new wellbore structure, which can drill a horizontal well in the first well after the first well reservoir is exhausted, so as to achieve the same efficient development effect as the first well. Such as: horizontal well development, volume fracturing, drainage gas production, etc. The surface casing, technical casing, ground pipe network, etc. of the first well can also be reused.

[0003] At present, horizontal wells usually adopt a single wellbore structure, such as: a single φ139.7mm / φ127mm / φ114.3mm completion casing is run from the wellhead to the bottom of the well. After the first well is exhausted, if side drilling is carried out, only the casing below the φ89mm oil pipe can be run to complete the well. Due to the small diameter of the pipe, the conditions for volume fracturing are not met, and efficient development cannot be achieved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a volume fracturing three-dimensional development method suitable for horizontal wells in unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs, which overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and can effectively solve the problem of increased costs caused by the inability to reuse the surface casing and technical casing of the existing first horizontal well.

Above the hanger (47) is a φ177.8 mm completion casing (221) or a φ177.8 mm technical casing (22), which has a large diameter and can also be used for side drilling.

[0025] The new wellbore structure must be able to run in φ60.3mm or 48.3mm production tubing after fracturing, and in the later stage of gas production, external power drainage gas production tools can be run in; after the first well is exhausted, horizontal well sidetracking can be carried out in the original wellbore, and the diameter of the horizontal well completion casing after sidetracking is ≥114.3mm, and the fracturing displacement is ≥8m³ / min. Therefore, φ177.8mm technical casing or completion casing needs to be reserved in the vertical well section.

[0026] The present invention provides a first horizontal well to complete the development of a reservoir, conduct horizontal well drilling, fracturing, and gas production, reserve a φ177.8mm completion casing or technical casing above the reservoir, and when the natural gas production of the first well is exhausted, close the first reservoir from below the side drilling point. Side drilling is performed from the reserved φ177.8mm completion casing or technical casing to produce the second reservoir, and a completion string that meets the requirements of horizontal well volume fracturing is lowered to perform fracturing, gas production and other processes. If there is a third reservoir, it can be developed in sequence, thereby realizing the three-dimensional development of horizontal well volume fracturing of unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs. Since horizontal well volume fracturing can be achieved each time, the single well fracturing transformation process can be maximized, and the purpose of increasing production and single well cumulative production can be finally achieved. The well site, ground pipeline and upper casing of the old well can also be used to minimize investment. A φ177.8mm technical casing or completion casing is reserved for each development, which is conducive to the lowering of external power tools such as electric submersible pumps and screw pumps during gas production to improve the recovery rate.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Starting from gas production and fracturing, the wellbore structure is optimized, which is suitable for the development of different reservoirs in unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs and for the entire life cycle of unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs; 2. It can realize the three-dimensional development of unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs in the same wellbore at different times. Each layer can be subjected to horizontal well volume fracturing, and the maximum program fracturing can be used to transform the reservoir to obtain the maximum production and recovery rate; 3. During the gas production process, φ177.8mm technical casing or completion casing is reserved. When the reservoir is exhausted, another reservoir can be developed by side drilling at the side drilling point to form a horizontal well with volume fracturing capability; 4. The φ114.3mm casing for tieback can be reused, which greatly saves production and construction investment; 5. One well site, surface casing, technical casing or completion casing, and ground pipeline can be used multiple times, greatly saving investment; 6. When one reservoir is exhausted, production succession can be achieved by developing the second and third reservoirs through side drilling.

[0028] According to actual needs, the above-mentioned volume fracturing three-dimensional development method for horizontal wells in unconventional multi-layer gas reservoirs can be further optimized and / or improved: Embodiment 2: As attached Figure 3 As shown, in the first wellbore structure, in step 5, the lower end of the φ177.8 mm completion casing (221) is connected to the φ139.7 mm completion casing (222) via a φ177.8 mm casing female buckle and a φ139.7 mm casing male buckle short section (25).

[0038] Step 1( Fig.10): Select the side drilling point: φ177.8mm technical casing 22, external completion casing cementing cement 23, good quality well section; the dogleg degree of the side drilling well deflection section is ≤5.5° / 30m, and the side drilling point is 45; Step 2( Fig.10 ): Backfill cement 40 below the side drilling point 45 to block the unconventional gas reservoir 8; Step 3( Fig.10 ): A φ152.4 mm whipstock was used to side-drill from the side-drilling point 45, and a φ152.4 mm drill bit was used to drill the well. A φ152.4 mm wellbore 41 was formed by side-drilling in the unconventional gas reservoir 6, and the well was completed to a depth of 44; Step 4 Fig.10 ): Run the delivery drill pipe 46 + hanger 47 + φ114.3mm completion casing 42 into the reserved φ177.8mm technical casing 22 + side-drilled φ152.4mm wellbore 41, inject cement 43 between the φ114.3mm completion casing 42 and the hanger 47 in the reserved φ177.8mm technical casing 22 + side-drilled φ152.4mm wellbore 41, and pull out the delivery drill pipe 46; Step 5 Fig.11 ): Run the φ114.3mm tieback casing 48; Step 6 Fig.12 ), performing horizontal well volume fracturing operation in φ114.3 mm tieback casing 48 + hanger 47 + φ114.3 mm completion casing 42; Step 7 Fig.12 ): After fracturing, the tieback casing 48 is brought out, and above the hanger 47 is a φ177.8mm completion casing and a φ177.8mm technical casing 5, which has a large diameter and can also be used for side drilling.

[0039] Example 7: Surface casing, technical casing, and completion casing models (1) Optimal casing selection for composite casing secondary wellbore structure (2) Suspended cementing three-opening well body structure Example 8: Horizontal well volume fracturing method and construction parameters In the case of this wellbore structure, staged fracturing technologies such as pumping bridge plugs, continuous tubing dragging, and cementing sleeves can be used to achieve horizontal well volume fracturing.

[0040] The volume fracturing parameters are as follows: It can be seen from the above table that both completion strings can meet the need for volume fracturing of more than 8m³ / min before sidetracking. Therefore, both completion strings can meet the need for fracturing displacement ≥ 8m³ / min after sidetracking.

[0041] Example 9: Supporting unconventional gas reservoir drainage gas production method Unconventional natural gas wells are generally characterized by low pressure, low permeability, water content, and rapid decline. Drainage and gas production are the key to increasing production and recovery. The following table shows the minimum liquid carrying flow rate of API oil pipe gas wells of different specifications.

[0042] (1) In order to reduce the critical liquid carrying flow rate of the gas well and take into account the friction resistance of gas production, φ60.3mm or φ48.3 production tubing is generally selected; (2) When the production of a natural gas well drops to 110% of the critical liquid-carrying flow rate, take drainage and gas production measures in advance to reduce pressure loss and extend the stable production period. Such measures include: foam drainage, plunger, etc. (3) When measures such as bubble drainage and plunger are ineffective, and liquid accumulates in the production string and the annulus between the production string and the completion casing, making it impossible to produce normally, a φ177.8 mm casing with a large diameter is reserved at the top, so an electric submersible pump, screw pump, etc. can be lowered into the casing, and external power is used to force drainage to increase the cumulative production and recovery rate of the gas well.

[0043] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.
